Background and Objectives: Moraxella catarrhalis is considered as an emerging pathogen and a new nosocomial infection agent. This study was conducted to isolate and identify M. catarrhalis from clinical samples (respiratory tracts) and assess them for antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Methods: In total, 280 samples were collected from patients...

Introduction: The incidence of splenic cysts is low, and most are asymptomatic. Symptomatic splenic cysts have rarely been reported. Due to the unspecific clinical and radiologic features, the nature of a cyst is difficult to define in the absence of a history of trauma. Therefore, splenectomy is usually the treatment of choice for obtaining a spec...

Background: Moraxella catarrhalis is an opportunistic bacterium that has pathogenicity in the human respiratory tract. The rates of colonization and infection of this bacterium are high in the respiratory tract of children and the elderly. Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study conducted from April 2016 to March 2018, 400 samples were c...

This study aimed to investigate the frequency of Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in benign and malignant breast tumors. A total of 24 carcinomas and 24 fibroadenomas paraffin embedded tumoral tissue samples were obtained from the pathology sections of Toos and Firoozgar hospitals in Tehran, Iran. All samples were collected from patients from June 2011...

Beta-thalassemia patients have high prevalence for HCV infection. In developing countries, HCV antibody is reported to be high in this group of patients. This study carried out to determine the distribution of HCV genotypes amongst the beta-thalassemia patients in North of Iran. The present study has been carried out between February and March 2010...

Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infects more than 90% of the world's human population. An association is proposed between EBV infection and occurrence of breast cancer, with a large difference in the results reported by different researchers. This study aimed to investigate the frequency of EBV among benign and malignant breast tumors. A total of 24 carci...

Background: Beta-thalassemia patients have a high prevalence for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In developing countries, HCV antibody is reported to be high in this group of patients. This study aims to determine the distribution of HCV amongst beta-thalassemia patients in northern Iran. Materials and Methods: This study was undertaken from Oct...

The major purpose of this study was isolation and identification of Campylobacter and Arcobacter from environmental samples in north of Iran. These bacteria were detected by prêt-KB method and identified and authenticated using phenotyping and molecular (16srRNA DNA sequencing) methods. The results obtained indicated that 64 strains were isolated f...

During the past decade Campylobacter has been shown to be responsible for enteritis in human and animal. The natural habitats of most Campylobacter species are the intestines of birds and other warm-blooded animals. These organisms may enter the environment, including drinking water, through the feces of animals, birds or infected humans. Fecal sam...

The major purpose of this study was isolation, identification and antimicrobial susceptibility of thermophilic Campylobacter spp. from different sources including domestic animals (cow, sheep, horses), poultry, river water and sewage in Tonekabon. Campylobacter spp. was isolated using prêt-KB method and identified by phenotyping tests. Antimicrobia...

... All original studies that were not reviews, case reports, or letters Letters, case reports, case series, reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analysis studies in Iran were analyzed to ensure that there were no missing relevant articles, but none were found. Eventually, nine articles were included in this study, of which five studies were about H. influenzae [8][9][10][11][12] , and three studies were about M. catarrhalis antibiotic resistance pattern [13][14][15] . One article was about antibiotic resistance of both H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis [16] . ...
... e characteristics of the 34 included studies are summarized in Tables 1-3. e main data was extracted from 3 studies from Ahvaz [11][12][13], 2 studies from Hamadan [14,15], 4 studies from Isfahan [16][17][18][19], 1 study from Kerman [20], 1 study from Kurdistan [21], 2 studies from Mashhad [22,23], 1 study from Mazandaran and Golestan [24], 1 study from Rafsanjan [25], 5 studies from Shahrekord [13,18,[26][27][28], 2 studies from Semnan [29,30], 4 studies from Shiraz [31][32][33][34], 8 studies from Tehran [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], 2 studies from Tonekabon [34,43], 1 study from Yazd [19], and 1 study from Zahedan [44]. Disk diffusion, E-test, and agar dilution were the most common methods used to evaluate antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter species in Iran (Tables 1-3). ...
... Low risk HPVs include: 6, 11, 34, 40, 42, 43, 44, 53, 54, 66, 70, and 74. High risk HPV types named for their carcinogenicity, and comprised of 16,18,31,33,35,39,45,51,52,56,58,59,68, and 69 [26,27]. For the first time in 1992, Di Lonardo A and colleagues suggested that HPV could play a crucial role in the genesis of breast carcinoma by detecting HPV16 DNA sequence in 29.4% of breast and lymph node samples [28]. ...
... According to a previous study, patients younger than 10 years were not HCV-positive (5). By using reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the detection of viral RNA, the prevalence of HCV infection was 11.42% in patients with beta-thalassemia, referred to the hospitals of Mazandaran and Guilan provinces in north of Iran (9). ...
... Eghbali et al. found no meaningful association of this virus and breast cancer. [40] As VZV is able to be activated in stress situations, in most chemotherapy and radiotherapy, there is an increased risk in VZV infection. After radiotherapy in the study of Lai YL, there was a higher risk of VZV infection 1.51-fold (95% confidence interval = 1.06-5.16, ...
... Our finding is in agreement with Zahra S et al. [15] who showed that only 2 cases out of the 40 tumor samples (5%) were positive and none of 40 normal tissues were positive for EBV-DNA. In addition, Eghbali et al. [16] in Tehran, Iran, reported EBV infection in 16.6% of carcinoma and 4.1% of fibroadenoma samples, but this infection rate was statistically insignificant. A low frequency (7.3%) of EBV DNA have also been reported among the breast cancer in another study in Iran [17] . ...

The anti-HCV seroprevalence reported in this study is higher than those observed among thalassemia patients in the other parts of Iran, 3.4% in Tabriz (North-West of Iran), 24 5.66% in Kurdistan (West of Iran), 25 8% in Isfahan (Center of Iran), 26 and 10.2% in Bandar Abbas (South-East of Iran), 27 but lower than 18.8% in Gilan and Mazandaran (North of Iran), 28 27.5% in Tehran (North-Center of Iran), 29 and 28.1% in Khuzestan (South-West of Iran). 30 According to a meta-analysis study, the overall seroprevalence of HCV among patients with thalassemia in Iran is 19%. ...
... [80], which was higher than the present study. Most of the studies reported higher prevalence of C. jejuni than C. coli in the foodstuffs [4,26,28,30,31,35,36,38,39,44,51,55,56,60,83,85,93,99,101,104] and fecal samples [13,61,64,65,70,74,75]. ...
